Predictive landscapes hidden beneath biological cellular automata
Lars Koopmans, Hyun Youk
To celebrate Hans Frauenfelder's achievements, we examine energy(-like) "landscapes" for complex living systems. Energy landscapes summarize all possible dynamics of some physical…
Statistical dynamics of spatial-order formation by communicating cells
Eduardo P. Olimpio, Yiteng Dang, Hyun Youk
Communicating cells can coordinate their gene expressions to form spatial patterns. 'Secrete-and-sense cells' secrete and sense the same molecule to do so and are ubiquitous. Here…
Progress towards quantitative design principles of multicellular systems
Eduardo P. Olimpio, Diego R. Gomez-Alvarez, Hyun Youk
Living systems, particularly multicellular systems, often seem hopelessly complex. But recent studies have suggested that beneath this complexity, there may be unifying quantitativ…
Autocrine signaling and quorum sensing: Extreme ends of a common spectrum
Berkalp A. Doğaner, Lawrence K. Q. Yan, Hyun Youk
"Secrete-and-sense cells" can communicate by secreting a signaling molecule while also producing a receptor that detects the molecule. The cell can potentially "talk" to itself ("s…
Molecular-level tuning of cellular autonomy controls the collective behaviors of cell populations
Théo Maire, Hyun Youk
A rigorous understanding of how multicellular behaviors arise from the actions of single cells requires quantitative frameworks that bridge the gap between genetic circuits, the ar…
Halfvortices in flat nanomagnets
Gia-Wei Chern, D. Clarke, H. Youk +1
We discuss a new type of topological defect in XY systems where the O(2) symmetry is broken in the presence of a boundary. Of particular interest is the appearance of such defects…
